According to data collected by mobile advertising network AdMob, Android phones have surpassed the iPhone in mobile traffic—at least in terms of ads served to the devices, which is a pretty good measure for overall traffic. As mobile browsers account for more and more of our online time, it’ll be interesting to see how the OS distribution works out. [TechCrunch]

YouTube Quietly Adds Movie and TV Show Rentals From 99 Cents

After tinkering with movie rentals in January, YouTube’s added a bunch of movies and TV episodes you actually want to see. We’re not just talking art-house Sundance Film Festival flicks—now, you can get a bit of anime too.
There’s still nothing particularly mainstream on the YouTube store, with indie films, Bollywood stuff and documentaries mostly on offer, viewable for 48 hours after renting. They cost between 99 cents and $4, with payments made via Google Check-Out.
It’s a worthy competitor to iTunes and the various gaming consoles that offer downloads, but I think it’s obvious to all that YouTube still needs to strike some deals with movie studios to get some decent stuff up on the site. What happened to the WSJ’s reports last year that Lion’s Gate, Sony and Warner Bros were in negotiations with Google, eh? [ReadWriteWeb via TechRadar]
Comparing Watch Brands via Search Volume
Two insights from this chart:
1. people buy watches for Christmas
2. overall search volume has been on the decline consistently for years
3. only watch brands which are mainly watches (vs Cartier which also makes jewelry, etc.) and also not generic words (e.g. omega) are detectable
Watch brands which are generic words like “omega” or “citizen” are hard to distinguish from the search volume for the generic word.
Comparing Paid Celebrity Endorsements and Natural Search
Maria Sharapova vs Megan Fox
Canon has spent millions of dollars on promoting Maria Sharapova, but no one has spent much money on promoting Megan Fox on television ads. But from the search volume, Megan Fox has far larger search volume (implying people remember her name and search for it) versus Maria Sharapova.
